I listed your report on the How do I keep the red lily leaf beetle from destroying my lilies? FAQ Claire |
Well, I am not likely to see any of these buggers this year, since the vole ate ALL the Lilium bulbs. I got some pretty ones from Ontheteam at your swap last year Idabean, but they are gone. :( The upside is, I won't have to deal with those horrible beetles. |
I saw a few almost two weeks ago. They seem to be starting early. Sigh. Dee |
SIGH Sorry Tereene! I got more if you wanna give it a try again... |
I saw one earlier this week. I went to hand pick it off my lily, but then I dropped it and it disappeared into my mulch. I'm in metrowest - near 128 and the pike. |
Over the last 10 days, I've killed 16 beetles and my lilies aren't that big yet. |

Haven't seen any so far but then, I gave up on lilies two years ago because of them. I have precious few hours to spend gardening so decided that, timewise, any susceptible lily types were a luxury I could no longer afford. I'll just make do with daylilies, until some varmint decides those are the equivalent of their favorite food. |
Hey Ontheteam, I will be happy to try more of those pretty light pink lilies if I get the chance!! I had dug up ALL my lilies prior to that because of the Lily Leaf Beetle, but I couldn't resist those gorgeous lilies (am a sucker for pastels). Gardenweed, what is eating your daylilies? So far, knock on wood, nothing has ever bothered the daylilies in the 9 years I've lived here. Watch, just for saying that something will happen. |
Tereen you are welcome to come to the sale and pick some up LOL or you can wait and see what I have left to swap for. Zabo donated 400 of that pink lilly again. |
Gardenweed, I did exactly what you did... after 2 years of being so disappointed at what they did to whole plants, and unable to keep ahead of them, I just took them all out and filled in with day lilies, which I can be just as happy with. Its pretty much my philosophy of gardening... if you have to try too hard to keep it alive, its not for me. There are plenty of other beautiful plants that will thrive. I love flowers of all types, but the time I do have to spend on gardening mostly goes into my vegetable garden - its more satisfying that picking bugs off my flowers! Susan |

Last year I found a little adjustment in my lily beetle hunting made a big difference. I had that problem with trying to catch them and they would drop down to the ground and you couldn't see them. I now take a 5 gallon bucket and add a little water to the bottom, then I hold the bucket under the lily stalk and shake the beetles into the water. Then I dispose of them. It has worked very well. I just didn't get started early enough this year. They've made a mess of a couple of lilies I forgot I had and I am wondering what happens if you just cut the top off the lily plant? I would expect I wouldn't get a flower this year, but will it kill the plant all together? |

I only have a few lilies planted in my white garden, Casablanca and Siberia. I think they are both orientals. This is the first year I've planted lilies so I was a little surprised to find a red beetle today on one of the Casablanca's. I think I'll try the ammonia and water solution. It works for slugs, so I'm guessing it will shrivel up any larvae that it comes into contact with. My understanding is that larvae hatch 7-10 days after egg laying. So I'll be ready for the fecal covered nasties. Steve |

ugh, just noticed some of my lillies aren't doing well and then all of a sudden I shake the plants and lo and behold guess what I saw and the eggs on the underside of the leaves too. All I have to spray with is a product that kills bugs around your foundation so I sprayed the plants. Every year its something new. I am down in Ansonia if you guys want to report me! |
Steve, I would like to hear how the ammonia solution works on the LLB larvae. I tried it last year on the slugs for the first time and boy did it work great! The 25% solution they recommended on the Hosta forum was quite acrid, so I tried 12.5% ammonia and it worked just as well with less irritating vapors. Ontheteam, I would be happy to swap for some lilies if you have some leftover and we hook up at a swap. |
PM2, I wouldn't cut the top off the lily. As you say, you would not get a bloom. I don't think it would kill the plant, but you'd have to leave I believe at least two thirds or so of the stem, so there's not much point in just taking off the top. You'd still have the beetles, and besides, by leaving the top, you will still get blooms, beetles or not. Some blooms may look pretty ratty and holey (is that a word, lol?) but I've had lots of lilies where the leaves are horrendously eaten but the blooms are okay. I tried the ammonia drench last year. I can't really tell if it helped much or not, but I am doing it again this year, as well as trying to be more vigilant in searching and destroying the beetles. I'm just not quite ready to give up on the lilies yet. I'm hoping the parasitic wasp will make its way down here to CT before long. Dee |
i have maybe 10lily plants as of last year, maybe 2-3 more this year, so far they did not even grow half way the regular size, but i am gonna start searching for beetles. Last year i managed to pick them and squish all the eggs i could find and the flowers survived. I was disgusted but i held my breath and kept squishing. I hope i wont get many of them this year. |
I have gotten rid of all my oriental and asiatic lilies due to susceptibility, but have found that the orienpet (oriental-trumpet crosses) seem less vulnerable. I am able to grow those completely undamaged most years. The first year after I got rid of my other lilies, I had a few beetles, but I haven't found any since then. |
so so far i do not have red beetles on my lilies, but surprisingly i have some ladybugs on them!! i saw them copulate, and now i have eggs on the leafes, so there is the question, are lady bugs larvae gonna eat my lilies plants? i do not have aphids on them so i am not sure what is gona be their food source? |
- Posted by prairiemoon2 zone 6a/MA (My Page) on Thu, May 24, 12 at 18:06
I hand picked RLLBeetles ruthlessly in 2010 and then last year I didn't have time to keep checking for them. This year, so far I've found less than 2 dozen around the garden and have disposed of them and the lilies are not looking too bad. I think if I had just been able to keep up with it in 2011, I would have seen even fewer and hope to keep vigilant. And I am pretty sure ladybugs eat aphids and don't eat foliage. If I were you I would feel very fortunate that they like your garden enough to settle there and start reproducing. I am sure they already have a source for food spotted. Maybe there is a population of aphids somewhere nearby. |
I've been seeing the occasional red lily beetle but barely any damage to the plants themselves. I put a teaspoon of GrubX on each Lilly when they are first emerging. That seems to take care of the bulk of the problem. |
- Posted by steve_mass 5b (My Page) on Sat, May 26, 12 at 6:25
Pixie what's in GrubX that you think works on the RLLB? Here's some good news. I was at a lecture by Dick Casagrande, a professor of entomology at URI. URI has done most of the research on this beetle and have released some parasitic wasps in two places, Cumberland RI and Wellesley, MA. They are trying to track the extent to which these wasps have been effective. They do this by collecting and dissecting the larvae from around NE, and they want you to send them yours. Yes, that's right they want you to collect some of the fecal covered critters, stick them in a yogurt cup and send them to URI. Below is the link with instructions at their website. The lab will dissect these things to find out how far the parasitic wasps have dispersed from those two release sites. Hopefully, these natural predators will make it easier for everyone to grow lilies in the future. Steve |
Here is a link that might be useful: Lily Leaf Beetle Larvae Collections
Steve mass - Claire did a wonderful FAQ on the red lily beetle. When I read about the life cycle with the larvae going underground, I decided to try the GrubX to see if that could kill them. I already walk the gardens in the spring sprinkling GrubX on the irises - to kill off iris borer - so its no big deal to also sprinkle it on the lilies. From th FAQ: But now I read that parasitic wasps were released in Wellesley, and I live the next to Wellesley. So maybe I am benefitting from the parasitic wasps and my GrubX has not done a thing? Now - I may be slightly confused. Were parasitic wasps for winter moth also released in Wellesley? Since my winter moth population is also down. |
- Posted by steve_mass 5b (My Page) on Mon, May 28, 12 at 7:12
Pixie, A specific Tachinid fly that attacks Winter Moth caterpillars has been released in several sights including Wellesley. But it's hard to say why your population is down. Could be the unusual weather in your area. UMass is leading the research for WM. Steve |

Sorry everyone. After I posted independently about my Red Lily Beetle sighting, I scrolled down on the page and found this post. I certainly will read the whole post and then think about a more careful garden walk next spring. Molie |

Today I found a beetle on a lily in Narragansett, RI |
ok well the little critters are here in upstate NY!we have been watching how beautifully my Lilly trees are growing when my husband discovered a mess of larvae all over our lilies. so upset, they looked to be a beautiful yield this year. so I came in and google what seem to be some sort of red beetle and low and behold here I am. he thouroughly hosed down all of the larvae off the plant and then sprayed some soapy water on them. first thing tomorrow going to buy the strongest thing we can to get rid of them!!!already upset that the chipmmonks ate all my beautiful sunflower seedlings that were growing now this.FYI I live in Troy,ny just across the Hudson River from Albany. |
debi1315: According to the June 6, 2014 UMass Extension Landscape Message: "Lily Leaf Beetle adults remain active but now we are seeing more eggs and feeding larvae. Larvae, which began appearing earlier this week, are easily treated with a product that contains Spinosad. Adult female beetles lay their eggs on the undersides of leaves in jagged lines that are about one inch long. When monitoring for eggs, stand next to a plant and gently fan the foliage upwards to visually inspect the leaf undersides. Make note of small, irregular lines of tan eggs that will be quite apparent on the fresh new lush green foliage. In small planting, leaves with eggs can be physically removed and destroyed. In larger plantings, continue to monitor. The eggs will turn orange and then a deep shiny red just prior to hatching. Treat new larvae with a product that contains Spinosad." Captain Jack's Deadbug Brew contains Spinosad, and also there's a Monterey Garden Insect Spay. Both of these are available in many nurseries. There may be others that I don't know of. For general information see the FAQ How do I keep the red lily leaf beetle from destroying my lilies?. Sorry to hear they're in Troy, NY. Claire |
Just saw my first in the New Haven, CT area. |
I added the Troy, NY and New Haven, CT sightings to the FAQ. Claire |

Farewell Dravid
An article I wrote on Thursday after the news of Dravid's retirement first surfaced.
Rahul Dravid aged 39 has summoned the press tomorrow and is likely to announce his retirement from International cricket bringing to end one of India's most illustrious sports career, leaving behind a legacy worth remembering for generations and a void in the Indian team and the sport that would be hard to fill.
I am not here to eulogize Dravid but rather present him for the simple man that he is and probably that does best as Dravid himself - a man who personifies modesty would like nothing better. On a fateful June day at Lord's in 1996 under overcast conditions, a debutant scored a fluent 95 and since then has established himself as one of the greatest players in the modern day cricket and probably India's most accomplished player in the last decade with over 13,000 test runs and 36 centuries, second only to the little master from Mumbai. He also holds the record for most catches in test cricket.
Rahul Dravid in my opinion is a misfit in the modern day arena and belongs to another era of cricketers all together. However that little made any difference as Dravid with his traditional approach to the game still managed to hold centre stag. His technical poise, immense powers of concentration and patience and his impeccable judgement in the corridor won him the name 'The Wall' and has for long remained as India's most consistent performer with the bat, standing tall as others fell around him. In an era where India boasted big names such as Sachin Tendulkar and Saurav Ganguly, Rahul Dravid often found himself in their shadows and his contributions not fully recognized. Maybe this went well with Dravid who prefers to keep to himself and shy away from the spot light, but begs the question just how big a name and influence Dravid alone would have had on Indian cricket had he not lived in the shadows of his great fellow team-mates.
With Dravid's retirement, it would be the end of the 'classical test batsmen'. Last one of his kind, Dravid will be most remembered for spending long hours in the middle, under the toiling sun, facing a barrage of bowling attack and slowly but steadily grinding them to death. His technique and judgement around the corridor was impeccable and that is probably one of the reasons he remains as one of India's more successful overseas batsmen. His ability to bat in difficult circumstances and over a prolonged period of time, complimenting well the Indian middle order filled with stroke makers in the likes of Tendulkar, Ganguly and Laxman won India many matches. His innings in Eden Gardens in 2001 against the Australians is probably one of the best examples of this. Dravid's role in the vital first drop is something that will be hard to fill in by another. Dravid's very presence in the middle brought relief not just to the dressing room but also to countless hearts and finding a person who'll be able to do that will be very difficult if not impossible.
Though not a natural stroke maker like many of his colleagues, or blessed by the Gods by extraordinary talent, Dravid's entire accomplishment and career speak loud of commitment, hard work and humility.
He'll be remembered as a complete team man and someone who always put the team above everything - even himself. A person who truly loved the game, he did his best to be a good ambassador of the game and a role model and I can't think of anyone in modern sports who not only served the game but also served keeping with the gentleman's spirit that the game is founded on.
The sight of a fast bowler steaming in and delivering the ball, Dravid rocking back, transferring his weight onto his back foot, and presenting his willow straight at the ball and pushing it hard into the ground is something that no longer be seen on the ground or the television and will remain as a burning image of 'the wall'.
I'll definitely miss him and consider one of my greatest privilege as having met the man not once but twice. So here's to a champion and a hero of the game and hope that retirement treats him well, as he gets time to sit back on his sofa, sipping lemonade on a hot summer day and watch the rewards of his work when the Indian team next take field.

Rosy picture for US labour market
Comment on this storyUS JOB openings rose in June to the highest level in more than 13 years, firming up the labour market picture for the second half of the year. The number of unfilled positions climbed by 94 000 to 4.67 million, the most since February 2001, from a revised 4.58 million in May, a report from the US Labor Department showed yesterday. The increase in openings means the healing in the labour market is broadening. – Bloomberg

Marketing Maestros
Are You Thinking Mobile for Your Business?
By Cara Brooke Schultz
Posted: Jan 21, 2011 12:00am ET
Let me answer that question for you, "you should be thinking mobile" and here's why. Just this week Starbucks announced that iPhone and Blackberry owners can pay for their purchases via an app. The app works just like the Starbucks card—it will display a barcode and the barista can scan this barcode from your mobile device to pay for your purchase. You cannot pay with a credit card via the app, instead you need to manage the balance of your Starbucks card by adding funds from a credit card online.
Another retailer thinking mobile: Target. Target made life a little simpler with their app—the mobile gift card program. How many times have you forgotten the gift card at home that Aunt Sue gave you for your birthday? Now you no longer need to grab that extra piece of plastic before walking out the door. The app allows you to turn your gift card into a digital barcode on your cell phone (just don't leave home without your cell).
Retailers aren't the only ones showing mobile some love. Online auction mogul, eBay says that "nearly $2 billion" in merchandise transactions took place via mobile devices. The eBay app not only allows you to buy and sell items on eBay, but now you can scan a bar code of an item in a retail store to see how much you can buy it for on eBay.
Can your business benefit from creating an app for smart phones? Of course it depends on your business model, but it seems mobile is the wave of the future!
Are You Game?
By Cara Brooke Schultz
Posted: Jan 6, 2011 12:00am ET
Social gaming is the talk of the town, with games like Farmville and Cityville becoming extremely popular on Facebook. According to an online article from Inside Social Games, "Cityville became the largest single app ever on the Facebook platform, with 84.2 million monthly active users." The social gaming concept is changing how people socialize with their friends in the social media space. Do you think social gaming is the next big thing in the online space?
People seem to think so, and businesses are starting to notice. Take McDonald's for example; in Sweden they brought the concept of gaming to a billboard advertisement. The concept: create a videogame that engaged customers walking on the street. McDonald's hired a company to create a videogame that employed McDonald's items like french fries, ice cream sundaes, burgers, and cups of coffee to dance across the digital screen. The advertisement went on to ask people to snap a picture with their cell phone of a menu item, bring into the local McDonald's and get that item for free.
For the duration of the ad, about 300 people brought in images to the local McDonald's. Although they were hoping to engage more people, the concept was picked up all over the Internet and tons of people were talking about it. The gaming advertisement experience was a hit, where else, but online!
Why Foursquare Works

Foursquare was based off of the concept of bringing the element of gaming to real-life. But, how does this work for businesses and marketers?
First of all, it puts your business on the map. Local businesses can offer sales and special rates to customers in their area on a whim—with the simple click of a button. Picture this, you own a local bakery, and have way too many pastries left over as it is nearing the closing hour. Instead of throwing out the pastries, you can run an advertisement on Foursquare for half-priced treats and any of your customers on Foursquare will see the advertisement and be more apt to come in and shop. This is what we call geotagging—the idea that merchants use GPS technology (in smart phones) to build a community at street level instead of global level. Foursquare provides a relatively simple and quick advertising option for local businesses.
So why are customers jumping into Foursquare—because smart phones are the new "it" necessity. With a smart phone you can go on mobile optimized websites, keep in touch with friends on Facebook, listen to music, chat to your followers on Twitter, play a game with the newest app, and even make a phone call. Smart phones are simply a mini computer at your fingertips—and it seems as though almost everyone has one.
Which brings us back to the new sensation of Foursquare—what do you think about Foursquare? Does your company use it, or plan on using it in the future?
New Ad Options on YouTube
By Cara Brooke Schultz
Posted: Dec 2, 2010 12:00am ET
According to research conducted by Nieslen, American consumers allocate 33 percent of their weekly media time to online. Nielsen also found that overall online video usage was up from 2009. Recently YouTube launched two new advertising formats: the first option allows viewers to skip advertisements after the first five seconds.
The second option YouTube is implementing allows the viewers to select which advertisement they would prefer to watch. According to an article on Mashable.com, advertisers are embracing this new option because companies have more control over their advertising budget and can target their ads to their ideal consumer.
As an advertiser, how do you feel about these new options? Share your thoughts!
Refreshing Your Brand? Not So Fast.
By Adrienne Tallacksen
Posted: Dec 1, 2010 12:00am ET
A new look going into the new year may seem like a good idea. But there's more to it than just updating your logo and slapping it onto your website and packaging. Remember Gap and Tropicana? The brands ended up reverting back to their old logos after debuting their new looks. In both cases, consumers revolted against the new designs.
Xilinx is an example of a brand refresh done well. The 25-year old high tech brand undertook this process in 2009 starting with extensive research about Xilinx's reputation in the marketplace and with its customers. Its marketing team knew that the brand's proliferation of sub-brand logos was not sustainable and worked to get support from senior management for the rebranding effort. Xilinx opted for subtle changes to its parent logo and more extensive updates to logos and naming conventions for its sub-brands.
Xilinx rebranded itself "from the inside out." This meant working closely with its employees who have a tremendous impact on the brand. It was important to let them know why the change was being made and what they could expect in terms of changes to the company's culture. To make sure employees fully understood the rebranding, Xilinx's marketing team held lunch and learns, presented at company-wide meetings, and redesigned the intranet portal.
This brand refresh was successful because Xilinx invested in a few key areas. The brand took the time to do research, get buy-in from senior management, and educated employees on the rebranding effort.
ANA Research Report: Multicultural Marketing and Newer Media
By Bill Duggan, Group EVP, ANA
Posted: Nov 29, 2010 12:00am ET
ANA recently fielded a survey to better understand how newer media platforms are being used to reach multicultural consumers. Topline results were debuted at the ANA Multicultural Marketing & Diversity Conference earlier this month.
A key finding of the research is that multicultural marketers allocate, on average, 6.6% of their multicultural media budgets to newer media platforms—versus 15.6% in the general market. Further, almost every newer media platform is more commonly used in the general market than in the multicultural market.
An important insight behind these numbers is that multicultural marketers are not allocating enough spending to newer media and many may not be allocating enough spending to multicultural marketing overall.
When results of the 2010 Census are released they will undoubtedly confirm what is already known by savvy multicultural marketers:
- The U.S. population continues to become incredibly more diverse. In 2010, births to Hispanic, Black, and Asian women will likely account for 50 percent of all births in the nation and that percentage will increase going forward.
- Multicultural households are significantly younger than those in the general market.
The population make-up of the country has reached a tipping point. The Census Bureau estimates that minorities will constitute a majority of the nation's overall population in about three decades and a majority of Americans under age 18 in only one decade.
More multicultural consumers and more younger multicultural consumers are a powerful combination ripe for an increased allocation in multicultural marketing spending overall and spending in newer multicultural media more specifically.
The implications to marketers are now clearer than ever before—multicultural consumers are no longer niche or "add on" segments. Rather, multicultural markets are the new mainstream and spending on multicultural marketing overall and newer media in particular must reflect that.
NBC News Embraces TV Time Shifting
By Susan Burke
Posted: Nov 17, 2010 12:00am ET
A surprising new ad featuring NBC Nightly News anchor, Brian Williams, encourages viewers who don't have time to watch the news when it airs live (6:30 p.m.) to record it and watch it later instead (a phenomenon known as "time shifting"). In a November 14, 2010, New York Times article, Mr. Williams commented, "I just thought it was high time to acknowledge, in our Nightly News promos, the way we live."
All of this raises new questions for the industry. Does acknowledging the very real fact that viewers time shift demonstrate that the networks are in touch with the way people consume media today? And, does time shifting make viewers more likely to watch a TV program, even if they miss the original air date?
According to a September 27, 2010, New York Times article, DVRs are helping many shows attain larger audiences (and Nielsen ratings). Fox's Glee scored a 5.6 Nielsen rating for an episode that aired in September, but after factoring in the time shifting audience, the rating grew to 6.3. The September 27, 2010, New York Times article went on to state that "many other established shows, like CBS's Two and a Half Men, and NBC's Law & Order SVU, added about 15 to 20 percent to their totals" after accounting for their DVR audiences.
Of course, these findings don't address a key issue for advertisers—are users fast-forwarding through the commercials when they do time shift? Most likely, yes. However, advertisers would be surprised by what sticks in viewers' heads as they are fast forwarding. Even while fast forwarding, I still caught a glimpse of and remember the fun Dove and Hellmann's commercials that played during the most recent season of AMC's Mad Men.

San Francisco Makes Kids Frown: Bans Toy Giveaways in Meals
By Cara Brooke Schultz
Posted: Nov 3, 2010 12:00am ET
San Francisco lawmakers approved legislation on Tuesday, November 2, that would limit toy giveaways in children's meals specifically those with high calorie intake. San Francisco is the only city in the country that will now forbid any restaurant from including a toy with a meal that doesn't contain specific levels of calories, sugar, and fat mandated by a new ordinance. However, restaurants are permitted to include a toy if the meal (including beverage) contains fewer than 600 calories (less than 35 percent of the calories can come from fat). The ordinance is scheduled to go into effect December 2011.

Message to TV Networks: Don't fill sidebar pillars of ads with your logo or network promotions
By Bill Duggan, Group EVP, ANA
Posted: Oct 29, 2010 12:00am ET
MediaPost's Dave Goetzl wrote a story recently on how TBS is promoting its Conan show using "pillars" that appear to the left and right sidebars of some ads on their HD feeds.
The majority of spots on TBS during the recent baseball playoffs, were produced in high-definition. When an ad is produced in standard definition, it doesn't fill the entire screen and leaves the sides black. So the pillars with network promos can only be used then. TBS inserted C-O-N-A-N in the pillar sidebars, while an ad aired between them.
According to the MediaPost article, for the most part, networks leave the pillars blank, although TBS and TNT have inserted their logos, as has ESPN; but NBC Universal, CBS, MTV Networks, the Fox cable channels, the Discovery networks and Rainbow's AMC leave the space untouched.
Let's hope that the use of the sidebar pillars by the networks—either with their logo or, worse yet, a network promotion—does not gain further traction. Plain and simple, it competes for the viewers' attention and devalues the effectiveness of the advertising.
Intuit Makes TurboTax Snazzy with Social Media
By Cara Brooke Schultz
Posted: Oct 26, 2010 12:00am ET
In case you missed it, Seth Greenberg, VP, global media & digital marketing at Intuit spoke at the 2010 ANA Annual Conference - The Masters of Marketing. Seth talked about how Intuit is successfully utilizing the social media space to get the word out about TurboTax—and not only is the word out—the word is that TurboTax is cool! So how did Intuit make tax preparation software hip & happenin'?
First off, they took risks! Intuit hired Vanilla Ice (in 2007) to create a "tax rap" which resulted in a viral frenzy! The video received over 1 million views with a homepage takeover on YouTube and ranked as the most viewed entertainment video the week it debuted. Over 370 homemade videos with more than 2.5 million views were submitted to win the $25,000 grand prize for the TurboTax Rap Contest. Right after that, Intuit launched another YouTube contest called "tax laugh," with the tagline, "Comedy is hard TurboTax is easy!" Pretty cool for a 25-year old conservative company huh?!
With 41 percent of first time TurboTax customer's learning about the product via word of mouth or a recommendation it's no surprise that social media is a key piece to Intuit's communication strategy—and isn't social media simply word of mouth advertising on steroids with a massive megaphone?!

BATON ROUGE - The sponsor of a Louisiana law that requires doctors that perform abortions to have hospital admitting privileges doesn't believe the provision is in jeopardy after a federal appeals court struck down a similar Mississippi law.
The 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals voted 2-1 Tuesday to overturn Mississippi's 2012 law, which would have shuttered the state's only abortion clinic. The judges said every state must guarantee the right to an abortion.
Louisiana's law, sponsored by Monroe Rep. Katrina Jackson, takes effect Sept. 1.
Jackson, a Democrat, says she's not concerned that Louisiana's law will be struck down if a lawsuit is filed, even though appeals would go through the same court. She says two Louisiana abortion clinics have a doctor with admitting privileges, so the law won't close every clinic.

So, this is intended to be my VGC's Sand team. Those who have helped me with my other team may notice that this is basically my singles sand team with Excadrill. This is true, and because hazard setup isn't as important in doubles, and that was Forretress' only purpose. Please read the whole post before suggesting changes in pokes or strategy. BTW, I am open to another Theme, such as hail, rain, sun, goodstuff, whatevs, this is just the team I've put together. Attaining pokes is no problem (legendaries may be difficult, though), so don't be afraid to suggest anything.
Sand setup and Physical Tank
Tyranitar@ Muscle Band
Sand Stream
-Rock Slide
-Ice Punch
T-tar's most important role in this team is sand setup, since that allows Exkie to pretty much rain on the opponent's parade. After that, he's free to do as he wishes, normally wreaking havok slamming around opponents with any of it's moves.
Sand Rush Softener
Excadrill@ Scope Lens
Sand Rush
-Hone Claws
-Shadow Claw
-Drill Run
-Rock Slide
Excadrill is normally paired up with Tytar at the match start, and thus gets an immediate benefit from his favorite weather. This Excadrill set isn't made for sweeping so much as softening up the opponent's team, allowing Heatran or Metagross to come in swinging after Exkie goes down. As such, i probably want to switch Hone Claws for another coverage move. Can Exkie learn Aerial Ace? That would make my day if it could
(Breeding for Timid)Whimsicott@ Leftovers
Timid Nature
-Trick Room
-Leech Seed
Basically, this set is meant to further support Excadrill, by softening up focus sash users with a Priority Leech Seed, and negating setup sweepers with Priority Encore while Excie hammers away. Tailwind allows me to give excie a potential x4 speed boost, and Trick Room allows me to reverse the tables on a potential Trick Room Threat. Unfortunately, this set stalls out if Whimsicott is taunted, forcing me to "struggle" for dear life
Special Sweeper/Anti-Sun
Heatran@ Air Balloon
Flash Fire
-Dragon Pulse
-Earth Power
-Hidden Power (Grass)
Heatran holds significance as the anti-fire/anti-sun attacker of this team. He normally comes in to replace Exkie in the event of a heavy fire type I don't anticipate OHKOing with Drill Run.
"Choice Specs"/Anti-rain
Gastrodon@ Wise Glasses
Storm Drain
-Ice Beam
-Earth Power
Gastrodon is a superb tank, i've discovered, and is a nice sponge for water moves, since they boost it's spatk. With Recover, I can stall out a seeded opponent while they hammer away at me, thanks to it's astronomic health stat.
Revenge Killer+anti-Fighting
Metagross@ Occa Berry
Clear Body
-Meteor Mash
-Bullet Punch
-Zen Headbutt
-Hammer Arm
Metagross packs power and defenses on the level of Tyranitar, and carries Zen Headbutt, which proves invaluable in ridding me of fighting types. Bullet Punch enables me to zip past pesky speedy sweepers and hammer them, even with it's low base power, and Meteor Mash provides a more powerful alternative. Zen Headbutt and Hammer Arm allow me to smash through pokemon that wall Gastrodon, and Heatran, such as bulky pure waters and steel types. Unfortunately, Metagross does still suffer from a weakness to fire-types, which will carve through this giant like a hot knife through butter (hah! punny!). Luckily, this is remedied, if temporarily, by it's occa berry, which allows it to survive a fire hit with a significant portion of health left.
Basically the goal of the team is to set up sand with Tytar, One-off a couple of pokes with Excadrill, then switch in another heavy-hitting poke to take it's place.
Okay, advice would be appreciated, especially suggestions to replace Hone Claws on Excadrill

[AD Caster Item] Xypherous's Avalanche - Please Help Me Refine This Idea!
And no, it's not one of those half-ounce-brain items that uses The Brutalizer!
You know how Rampage gets that cooldown buff for being cast, right? Well, what if we made that into an item...catered to AD burst casters? This isn't just some, "Oh, we're gonna reduce every spell cooldown by a bunch, you're so creative /sarcasm," it's really tailored to burst casters. Like, if you're not using it right, it does nothing for you. Because I'm having a hard time thinking of the type of stats this should be attached to for game health and balance, I'll just tell you the UNIQUE Passive the item is going to be based off of. I think the name of the item is awesome and it includes the name of an awesome Rioter. Awesome.
You have no idea how many times I had to change that just to maintain the intended design without making it an autopurchase for Ryze. Do you know how much it hurts to think you have thought of something great, and then realize one champion can just go QWEQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQ and completely ruin any chances you'd ever have at getting the idea under the consideration of Riot? In the end, the "will not reduce to less than 2 seconds" clause saved me, because it wasn't intended for repeat ability combos - it was intended to help shave some time off of innately longer cooldown abilities in a Fighter/Assassin combo. So, hooray for that. Possible builds: (and remember, it's about the items that it builds from a lot more than the suggested stats, so don't **** your pants if you disagree with any particular item stats - in fact, it would be nice to get a suggestion on what you think it should be instead)
Kat will like this a lot.
Downvoted for insulting other item ideas while claiming yours is better.
Also; .5 second stack duration screws over 95%+ of the population, for varying reasons (skill, delay, etc.). There are days when I get .5 second delay constant. I would literally never be able to use the item. Oh, and this is ignoring that it would be an instant buy for Olaf, and all CDR items would then be skipped for him. Meaning my build on Olaf would become easier, stronger and more versatile. |
Definitely not broken. Her passive is much stronger. I highly doubt you'll end up in a button mashing spree that makes it over 5 stacks, ever. Things like that are reserved for certain champions like Akali in theory, but you can't even use R alone to keep this effect going, so good luck. Xypherous's Avalanche is an item for Fighters and Assassins that gain power from AD and already build heavily into CDR. The way the passive works enables it to function fully on top of the benefits of CDR (because it takes time off of the top when casting spells almost simultaneously; it doesn't effect 'base CDR', it literally acts as if more time has passed right away when casting spells one after another in tight combinations). That said, this would be an item for smart-casters (something people are already aware of that increases power without directly effecting anything but how hotkeys react). |
So, completely disregarding the fact that the UNIQUE Passive is the only thing that is for sure on the item, and the mechanics of which are in question and not exactly the direct effects, you think that a champion that people already call each other bad for when they don't stack health and max E can disregard a stat as powerful as CDR (bringing Q to 4.8 seconds instead of 8, W to 7.2 seconds instead of 12, E to 3 seconds instead of 5, and R to 60 seconds instead of 100) for the ability to go WEQR at the very most and get 1 second off of E, 2 seconds off of Q, and 3 seconds off of R? It sounds like you, kind sir, either completely miss the point of the item or are just trying to make up reasons to be angry rather than deal with your personal problems. I won't go into detail again just because you refuse to understand something that is written and placed before you in black and white. Oh, and the .5 second stack duration is pretty much the only thing keeping it doing what it does instead of creating actually broken synergies. Have a nice day. Quote:
I definitely agree with you that this item needs to happen in SOME form. I'm not especially against Brutalizer builds but at this point, I want something that will bloody-well work and I really don't care if Brutalizer is not part of it. The name is very fitting, considering Xypherous' wonderful contributions to the Fighter class (I would also argue that Coronach is a great candidate for a namesake) My first concern on reading your idea was immediately addressed when I got to the "will not reduce below two seconds" I think that's dead-on; as it still presents powerful stats for characters who have some mechanic like that (Hecarim, for example, would probably still buy this item because he'd get a lot of use out of it and his other spells have especially long cooldowns; my only worry would be the power of this item in Skarner's claws as he'd see some insane ability use from Q spam and this unique+his own passive as he could at least get a few blocks out of the .5 period.) At any rate, your unique passive plan is pretty strong I think; it's not too ridiculous and it'd probably provide some great power for champions who need an item to scale a bit better. The question I have is, what is the biggest problem these types of champions really face? Is it that they don't all have annoyingly powerful early games and still fail to scale into end-game? Or is it that they just don't have an item that meshes with their kits quite so well as every other champion in the game? I'm sort of lost on this issue as I've been very much in support of an "AD Caster" item since Riven's release; however, I've also read some compelling arguments about fighters simply not needing a "Fighter item" since it'd just make them scale into end-game better and they're not exactly supposed to do that since most of them have powerful early or mid-games and very few have weak early or mid games that also have a strong late game (Riven for example is pretty useful most of the game but still doesn't reach scary scaling like an AD carry can) I guess I'm asking you, what's the goal of coming up with this item? Is it just to get a smarter, more tailored damage item for fighters or is this to solve the scaling problem that most of them face? I think the problem is that even a champion like Garen, who can destroy his lane opponent in the early game, just sees himself making VERY low contribution in longer games, which most tend to be anymore. |
I know exactly what I'm talking about. With CDR runes and some masteries, I'd be dropping the cooldown to ~6.6 seconds, which, if you subtract 4.5 seconds from, leaves you at 2.1. So .1 second cooldown. Here is my old build, from a year ago. |
First spell cast (gains no benefit at all) -> second spell cast (gains the bonus of 1 stack) -> third spell cast (gains the bonus of 2 stacks) -> fourth spell cast (gains the bonus of 3 stacks) At no point can any of the spells cast have their cooldowns post-Avalanche reduced below 2 seconds (this stops low CD abuses, especially Ryze). To illustrate this further, look at the following information. (40% CDR) Overload - 2.1 seconds Rune Prison - 8.4 seconds Spell Flux - 8.4 seconds Desperate Power - 30 seconds Q (2.1) -> W (8.4 - 1, so 7.4) -> E (8.4 - 2, so 6.4) -> Q (2.1 - 3, cannot be lower than 2, so 2) 0 stacks -> 1 stack -> 2 stacks -> 3 stacks I should not have to explain this when it's already stated in the original post. |

Fusion Research Coverage
Fusion is not the answer (136 comments)
The average house today uses 100amp service (220 volts), and most NEW houses need a 200 amp (220 volt) service.
True, though I doubt houses use 100 amps 24 hours a day!
Most current and new houses, and appliances (yes, PCs are guzzlers, but Netwinders and Laptops aren't) are based on the assumption of cheap power. Off-grid solar houses of today use MUCH less power, which is obvious when you consider the solar panel cost of driving the typical energy-inefficient house of today.
Some solar installations are designed to supply high peak power through more batteries -- it's not unusual for a solar home to be able to power all typical shop tools, but maybe not all at once. Ideally one can use "the (solar) grid" to supply the high peak power demands.

Down by as many as eight points in the final minutes of the fourth quarter against Carroll County, the GCHS girls' basketball team could have given up. They could have drifted through the final possessions and waited for the buzzer to sound.
But they fought back, picking it up on offense and defense to cut the Lady Panthers lead to one with only a few seconds left. A heave from half court could have won the game for the Lady Braves, but it didn't hit the net, giving Carroll County a 61-60 win on Feb. 6.
The Kentucky Wildcats looked to rebound from their first conference loss of the season on Jan.
Depression. Anger. Confusion. Fear. These are the feelings that have been increasingly taking up my time after each Kentucky basketball game. Kentucky fans are quickly trying to schedule an appointment with their doctors to get on some antidepressants and anxiety medicine as this year's season is quickly plummeting into a dark abyss. OK, maybe that is a little melodramatic, but in all seriousness this season's success or failure will be determined in the next few games.
The GCHS Dance team made the most of their first opportunity to compete this year, taking first place at the Just Keep Dreaming competition in Bourbon County on Jan. 24.
"I told the girls that they would have to get their nerves out and they could do it," coach Kim Graves said. "Just keep smiling."
"I thought it was really amazing and there were a lot of good teams," Deya Torres said. "I'm so happy that we took first place because we put so much effort into it."
The weather that shut down schools last week also disrupted local basketball teams schedules.
The Williamstown Lady Demons and the Grant County Lady Braves were able to play their rivalry game on Jan. 26, but then both teams had to postpone or cancel other matchups later in the week.
The Lady Demons had to postpone their game against Trimble County on Jan. 31 until Feb. 7. They also missed several practices during the week, sometimes practicing with only a portion of their team.
After drilling a three pointer to head into the half only down two points against Simon Kenton, the Williamstown Demons were hoping to keep their momentum and earn a district win.
However, the Demons have struggled executing after halftime this season and continued their struggles against the Pioneers, falling 80-59 on Feb. 2.
Hello, Grant County. My name is Brian Melton and like a lot of you I am a huge Kentucky Wildcat basketball fan. And like you, I have a full time job that requires much more of me than just watching or reading any and every bit of information available related to my greatest passion.
No matter how big a lead, the Grant County-Williamstown rivalry always seems to come down to the final few minutes.
Grant County, leading by as many as 13 points in the fourth quarter, held on for a 78-69 victory after Williamstown cut their lead to four. The Braves won both games of the regular season rivalry.
As the seconds ticked off the clock, the Grant County Braves turned to see their faithful fans unfurl a banner that said "Braves – Region Eight Champs."
Thirty years later, it's a memory that has stuck with the players from the 1978-79 GCHS boys' basketball team.
Believing that his team had a size advantage, coach Stacey May was dissapointed when the Williamstown Demons lost to Walton-Verona in the All "A" Tournament.
"We didn't really play bad, but we didn't hit shots," May said. "If we hit some of the shots we took, I'm talking about how well we played. This game, we didn't play bad; we just missed shots. Walton was pretty consistent shooting the ball."

How does the CHL requirement system not infringe on our Constitutional right to bear arms?

That's right - but a lot of things today are screwed up.
Funny thing about concealed carry. If you read state constitutions, you'll see that many of the states that have similar statements about not infringing on the RKBA, also state it doesn't apply to carrying concealed weapons. Law abiding free men carry weapons openly, only the criminals carried concealed weapons. That probably accounts for the bias against concealed carry.
I can't open carry in Texas and must have a CHL to conceal carry. I've always wondered how they passed that because it makes a person following the 2nd Amendment a criminal.
IF YOU REALIZE that the requirement is unlawfull than you realize that the state does not care.they make a law if its not questioned than it is lawfull.do you get what I'm saying?all gun laws are unlawful are they not.when did it become a felony to have a gun if you have been convicted of a crime???? the constitution says citizens have right to possess fire arms it does not say[except for felons]I wonder if we should check to see if the continental army was in compliance.the army used to take any one and arm them.you dont think they cared in ww1 do you??back to CCW,which was started to keep poliacal foes from resisting the bully boys yes and to keep blacks subservant to white masters.I wonder if the treatment of blacks had been differant after the civil war if there would be the problems we have know??? any comments
The Second Amendment is our permit to own and carry arms. How is charging people to process permits legal? Where in the Bill of Rights does it say people have to pay the government for the privilege of exercising their inalienable rights?
Try living in WI, we can't carry at all
Perhaps, if I am very lucky, the feeble efforts of my lifetime will someday be noticed, and maybe, in some small way, they will be acknowledged as the greatest works of genius ever created by Man. - Jack Handey
The Second Amendment means what the Judicial Branch says it means--period. That's established Constitutional law, too, like it or not. Some (phony) scholars say it only guarantees arms to the National Guard, a view beloved of liberals; fortunately, that makes sense to few REAL scholars, and even fewer judges. If that were a defensible view, then freedom of the press would only apply to state-run newspapers--and you won't see anyone supporting that position. The Bill of Rights was added to the Constitution to LIMIT the powers of Government: the First Amendment to make sure the Government can't have a monopoly on information, and the Second to make sure it can't have a monopoly on force. That logic is irrefutable, and supported by the discussions among the Founders in the Federalist Papers that show how the Constitution came to be. The fact remains: the meaning of the whole Constitution, not just the Second Amendment, is in the hands of the courts, in particular the Supreme Court. What you must do, if you are concerned about the RKBA, is make sure we have a conservative President who will appoint conservative Justices, and a conservative Congress that will confirm them. That's the way our system works, and how it's intended to work. Personally, I'm glad the country has swung to the right enough that most states now have CHL laws. 20 years ago, here in Texas--in Texas!--you couldn't carry at all. I can't see complaining about CCW laws, not when you can now actually GET a CHL regardless of the whims of local law enforcement. That there should be SOME limits on the RKBA is a national consensus; I, for one, don't want general free access to RPGs and the like. Sorry. I don't feel too bad about felons being denied firearms, either. You want to legally carry a gun? Don't commit felonies. I don't believe in parole, either. Do the damned time. I think the situation we have now is the best ever. We should enjoy it, not gripe about how it OUGHT to be--and never, ever will.
"Valor needs first strength, then a weapon." -- J. R. R. Tolkien (1892-1973) "Free men have arms; slaves do not." -- William Blackstone (1723-1780)
You do realize not all states are allowed to carry a concealed weapon? You may consider it the best it has ever been because you live in Texas but around here it definetly isn't the best ever. Putting complete trust into the courts of the U.S. isn't the smartest thing to do either. Yeah vote in who is in line with your views, but we all only have 1 vote, I want Ron Paul for president, is that going to happen? Nope. You can't just take whatever the supreme court dictates and live with it. You seem to have a bit of a defeatist attitude.
If the 2nd amendment were interpreted by the same criteria by which abortion is, and abortion is not even in the constitution, nor is the "right" to privacy on which it is based, not only would CCWs be nonexistent, but we could buy just about any infantry weapon in the corner hardware store and the federal government would be offering subsidies to help us purchase such weapons. I disagree with cnorman. Words have meaning whether or not courts even exist, and the Bill of Rights is a collection of absolutes, which the courts are charged to enforce, not interpret. Rights exist whether or not governments choose to protect them or not. The question you have to ask yourself is, do I claim my rights in defiance of an unfriendly government or do I choose not to because the risk is to great?

Debating between a Bosch 800 series wall oven and GE Profile. Unfortunately, the GE doesn't have a meat probe for some reason in the 27 inch model. We are leaning toward the GE (partly due to the available Advantium oven to pair with it), but I am wondering if it would be a mistake to forgo the probe. We haven't had one with it to date with our inherited appliances so we wouldn't be "missing" it, but it does seem to be a pretty useful feature for cooking turkeys, roasts, etc. |
Follow-Up Postings:
You can buy one separate which is actually much better because when it goes you can easily replace it. I would not be without one because it enables you to be able bring whatever you are cooking to the perfect temperature. TW362B is one but there are others brands. alarm thermometers |
We use a separate one - love it! Our new one has a remote unit for monitoring from another room. |

Our Electrolux Icon wall oven has a probe, and I love it. The integrated probe was a first for us, and we wondered how it would go. We used it almost immediately on a turkey and it was great. Very happy to have it. |
You can tell I am not the cook in the family. I never even knew these existed. I have only ever used a manual thermometer. Good point on being able to replace it. |
I used a remote probe all the time before we got the Electrolux, I consider it an essential piece of kitchen equipment. I like the probe that the Electrolux came with because when it gets to the temperature I've set, it kicks to "keep warm". And, I blush to admit it, but that Perfect Turkey button actually does give you a perfect turkey, or chicken as the case may be. It's been very handy. |
Yep, Electrolux perfect turkey setting! I haven't used the one in my Gaggenau combi oven yet. |
Our new Elux wall oven is the first oven we've owned that has the meat probe. I love it, especially for meatloaf. |
I've used mine (GE Profile range) several times for baked chicken breast and a pork loin. |
I've used mine for every roast/turkey/etc. I've done for two decades. Wonderful things. I wouldn't own an oven without. To be fair, the external probes work wonderfully, too, but they're not as convenient. |
- Posted by breezygirl (My Page) on Mon, Apr 14, 14 at 3:07
I used to use an external thermometer probe until I got my Wolf L ovens. Now I use that probe, but I do have to say that plugging the thing in is a PITA. The Wolf manual says to pre-heat the oven first, then insert the probe. I have to have oven mitts on both hands to do it. One hand has to lift up the tiny little probe hole cover and keep the mitt away from the hole while the other inserts the probe in a tight area of 350 degree metal. It's not an easy feat fumbling around with my heavy-duty oven mitts. Do others of you with different oven brands have the same difficulty I have inserting the oven probe? |
Procedure for my range is set up the probe first, then turn on the oven. |
Cooking certain foods like duck breasts can't be done without a thermometer and get a consistent result IMHO. Others are just done more easily. I use the internal one on my Gagg quite frequently and it plugs in easily with a display on the controls. Because there is no counter beside the oven, an external isn't an option. (Counter top is on the island opposite). In a second home, I use an external on a GE profile and it works just fine. Can't beat the convenience of the integrated though. |
- Posted by stevep2005 (My Page) on Mon, Apr 14, 14 at 11:35
Our Thermador ovens have the probe that can turn the oven off when it reaches the desired core temp and is tied to some other 'smart' features - I assume that is the type of probe you are asking about. I've used the oven meat probe once in eight years. It works well, I just tend to be more active with the cooking and use a handheld commercial digital thermometer constantly. Maybe I should dig it out of the drawer and give it another try! |
Hmmm…where did I put that thing? |
I never had one till this oven. I use it. However I don't think it is a deal breaker since it isn't much different than my wireless one I had before. |
We have a Wolf 304, and use the meat probe on every roast, turkey, etc. Works great, love having it. |

Cooks illustrated recommended Thermoworks TW362B (update 2013) if not getting an integrated one. Mentioned previously by "wekick". |
I never had a meat probe before the oven I have now, I use it all the time. I love being able to set my probe and know my turkey will be perfect....those pop up poppers don't pop half the time! |
- Posted by EurekaChef (My Page) on Sat, Apr 26, 14 at 22:23
I have a GE monogram oven which comes with a probe, and I use it a lot. But before that I just had a $30 external probe which worked just as well. So a built in probe is nice, but not absolutely necessary. |

HI All,
I am thinking of buying a Jado Glance bathroom faucet. Currently I only own Grohe, Hansgrohe and Kohler faucets. I'll be buying it sight unseen so I'd like to know if they at least are up to the standard of what I have now. Thanks! Joe |

`Greenhouse effect' on climate is a cloudy issue. Recent studies suggest that warming trend may be natural fluctuation
SCIENTISTS trying to understand humanity's impact on climate are frustrated by not knowing what happens to climate naturally. Possible warming by carbon dioxide (CO2) pollution from burning coal, oil, and natural gas is a case in point.
Theory and computer simulations predict that a doubling of the concentration of this heat-trapping gas could warm our planet by several degrees Fahrenheit over the next half century. Some analyses suggest that this so-called CO2 ``greenhouse effect'' may already be evident. Climate data do reflect a warming trend. But it's different in character from what the computer models project. It may well be only a natural fluctuation.
In a comprehensive review of this problem, researchers at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory reached ``the clearly unsatisfactory conclusion that, while we are witnessing a warming of the terrestrial climate, we cannot identify its cause.''
They add: ``Even if it is of anthropogenic origin, it need not be due only to increased CO2. But if it's due predominately to CO2, then our present climate models require work to reconcile them with observational data on patterns of surface temperature change.''
The review team includes Hugh W. Ellsaesser, Michael C. MacCracken, John J. Walton, and Stanley L. Grotch. Their report appears in the current (November) issue of Reviews of Geophysics, a quarterly journal devoted to overviews of important research fields.
The climatic record is complex, patchy, and often tricky to interpret. Geological evidence, inferences from old agricultural records, and other non-instrumental data can be an unreliable guide. Even the instrumental records of the past century are marred by differences in observing standards in different regions and by changes of standards over time. Just moving a thermometer a few hundred feet can give a false indication of ``warming.''
Also, there's what the Livermore team calls ``the trap into which we fell because ... collection and archiving of worldwide weather records began in 1881, near the apparent [natural] temperature minimum of 1883.'' The team adds that, if information now available on that temperature trend had been known earlier, ``it is unlikely that there would now be the present degree of concern over the climatic effect of CO2.''
